Pompey boys Hotel Lux's debut single for Big Score Records (home of singles from LICE, Pink Kink, Dead Pretties and Yowl) 'Daddy' reeled us in last month with its eerie synthesizers, spindly guitar lines and tormenting subject matter. Lucky for us, it's equally threatening b-side 'Berlin Wall' doesn't disappoint. Walking the line between laddish pub-rock and sinister post-punk, frontman Lewis Duffin's witty and abrasive drawl takes centre stage once again on 'Berlin Wall', growling his way through verses before descending into the song's dark refrain, "You've got a disposition like the Berlin Wall", bringing the track to a chaotic climax. If you like what you hear, order the 7" here now. -Holly Mullineaux
